Harimaze (張交絵 or 貼交絵) are prints having
several images intended to be cut apart.á
Sometimes the images on a single sheet are totally unrelated and may even
be designed by different artists.á The
series listed as 200 and 216 in Kuniyoshi
by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961) and print
S95f.3 in Kuniyoshi: The Warrior-Prints
by Basil William Robinson (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1982 are Harimaze.á A
Modern Style Set of the Provinces in Edo Brocade (K˘to nishiki imay˘ kuni-zukushi) may also be considered harimaze.á I am grateful to Ward Pieters for assisting
with this section.
